Amid some serious boxing scraps, Deron Williams vs Frank Gore can be an entertaining bout for the fans, who are eager for the Jake Paul vs Tyron Woodley 2 card on December 18. The NBA elite and Olympic gold medalist, Williams, didn’t need to enter the boxing trend. However, the lucrative pay-check may have allured him and the NBA star will now take on a former NFL player, Frank Gore, inside the boxing ring. But on looking at the massive earnings of both men from their respective sports career, it’s hard to believe that money is the sole reason for bringing them inside the ring.

The two will lock horns in a heavyweight bout in the undercard of Paul vs Woodley 2. That said, neither man has had any pro-boxing experience to their side. However, combat has always been a primitive part of their respective athletic careers. They have used combat as a tool to witness success in NBA and NFL. That said, they are finally going to lace the gloves and collide with each other.
